I think we are all ready for Christmas. Just a few little things left to do like wrapping the gifts and putting things in stockings. Oh, and plan breakfast for Christmas morning. I’m thinking about some Nutella crescent roll braids like this. I shared this one with Something Swanky a while ago, and just realized that I never shared it here.

Do you like easy breakfast recipes? We do too. Easy recipes are perfect for a day when you want to spend it relaxing in your jammies with your kiddos. This is such a simple pastry that even the kids can help make one. My daughter loves that we braid this just like we braid her hair. [Read more...]

We have gone into full blown school mode around here.

School supplies have been purchased.

Is it just me or do kids have more and more things added to their lists every year?

Hello, shopping cart full of notebooks, binders, and pencils and

goodbye fun baking money for the month.

There is only one more full week of summer vacation left here.

I really feel like the kids just got out.

Where did the summer go this year???

It’s no secret around here that I don’t like to get up in the morning.
Thank goodness my kids are old enough now to get up with their alarms
and to get ready without me monitoring every single minute.

They are even big enough to get their own breakfasts.
Toast, poptarts, cereal, and toaster strudels…
yup, plenty of the easy stuff that they like.

Now there are the days that I will make muffins or donuts
the afternoon before so they can have those the next morning.
Not that I couldn’t get up and do it that morning,
but my body doesn’t function so well first thing.
And you kind of need to be alert when baking yummy stuff.
Wouldn’t want to grab the wrong ingredient or something.
Plus a hot stove and a sleeping person isn’t the best combo.

I am always on the lookout for fun things that I can make the day before
and refrigerate for early morning breakfast.
The other night we had tacos and so we had extra taco meat in the fridge.
And I had another tube of Pillsbury crescent rolls, because I have kind of been in love with them lately.

Scrambled eggs and leftover taco meat happens to be a huge favorite of mine,
so it got me thinking on how I could incorporate it into something the kids could reheat easily.

Bake this yummy mixture up in a crescent roll and
you have super easy breakfast that can be enjoyed right away,
or reheated the next day for an even faster and good breakfast.

By folding the edges of the rolls up just slightly
it keeps the mixture together just a little bit better!!!

Don’t worry about it looking perfect.
They will disappear quickly before anyone even notices!!!

Taco Breakfast Boats

Crescent rolls filled with scrambled eggs and taco meat makes a great breakfast.

Ingredients

1 (8 oz.) can refrigerated crescent rolls (I use Pillsbury)

1/2 lb. hamburger

1/4 c. chopped onion

2 tbsp. taco seasoning

1/4 c. water

4 eggs

1/2 c. black beans

1 c. shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Cook the hamburger and onion in a saucepan until fully cooked. Add the taco seasoning and water and bring to a boil. Lower temperature and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Set aside. Scramble eggs in another saucepan. Combine eggs, taco meat, beans, and cheese.
Unroll the crescent rolls. Separate into 4 rectangles. Press the seams together. Cut each rectangle into 2 squares. Place 2 spoonfuls of eggs onto each square. Roll the edges of the dough up just slightly all around. Press together to hold shape. Top each square with more egg mixture, so each one is full. Bake at 375* for 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Serve immediately or refrigerate and reheat the next day.

Dear Yellow Jacket in the Berry Patch,

Next time I pick berries near your home I would prefer if you would please not sting me again. I didn’t mean to scare you. I just wanted some fresh berries to bake with. But thank you for not calling the rest of your friends to come after me. That was much appreciated.

Love, the Lady with a Swollen Finger

Dear Camping,

You are kind of ok. I must admit you were not as bad as I remembered. I think having cooler weather helped a lot with that. Although walking to and from a public bathroom will never get any easier. Thank goodness for campfires and s’mores to distract me from the fact that I was in the great outdoors. At least until I went to bed and heard all the nightlife right outside our popup. Headphones would be a good thing to remember if there is a next time.

Love, The Non Camper in Me

Dear Christmas Paper in the Frame,

It’s time to leave. I know you thought I wouldn’t realize that I missed getting you out when I took down the rest of the decorations so many months ago. But I see you…I have just been too lazy to get you out. I’m getting the urge to fill the frame with a cute picture now….if only I could decide which one. Maybe it would be easier to leave you in for the holiday season since the year is flying by.

Love, the Lazy Housekeeper

Dear Lady in the White SUV,

Thank you so much for cutting me off the other day. I must say how much I love having another vehicle swerve right in front of me with no warning. It keeps me on my toes. Although it isn’t good for my kids to hear me calling you a “stupid moron”! Thanks for that one. I owe you big time!

Love, the Sarcastic Mom in the Mini Van

Dear Routine,

I miss you!!! Please come back to our house. It has been fun for a while being a slacker with no agenda, but the late nights and the late mornings are actually starting to bug me…just a little. I promise to be better at sticking to your plan. Will you consider coming back so I can give you another try? We need to get the kinks worked out before school starts.

Love, the Night Owl

Dear Goodwill,

Why do you continue to tempt me with your racks of clothes and piles of fun dishes and frames? You never disappoint me every time I visit. Thank you for having 3 stores in my area that are always more than willing to take my money. Give me a few more weeks, and I will be back with more money to spend on those treasures.

Love, the Shopaholic Treasure Hunter

Dear Crescent Rolls,
Thank you for being so easy to work with. I love how fast it is to make a yummy breakfast/snack for my kids when I keep you on hand. Your flakey and buttery layers were a perfect match for the cream cheese and pie filling. Never change your recipe.

Love, the Day Before Breakfast Baker

Cheesecake S’mores Danish

April 26, 2012 25 Comments

The great outdoors and I have never really been one.

It’s part of the reason that I prefer to do my camping from a hotel….

that and mosquitoes eat me like I eat sugar!!

But I will brave the elements to enjoy a good campfire every once in a while.

The thought of ooey gooey marshmallows gets me there every time!

I have to admit that one of my favorite parts is roasting marshmallows

and eating s’mores until I feel sick!!!

My husband is super patient and will slowly toast his marshmallows

until they are all golden brown and pretty!

Now me on the other hand…

get it in there, burn it good, slap it on a cracker with chocolate

and eat the crunchy goo! Then repeat 10 more times.

Then you have our kids.

They hold it barely over the fire and then wonder why it isn’t getting warm,

or they put it right into the center and poof it goes up in flames.

We have no sympathy for them.

You burn it or drop it…oh well!

Get another one and try again!

It’s a good thing marshmallows are cheap.

I am always on the lookout for other fun ways to enjoy the s’mores flavor

without having to breathe fresh air!

The thing with s’mores is that it has been made into everything.

So many yummy things have been created

using the delectable combo of chocolate and marshmallows.

Most things have even been done 10x’s or more.

And then when I think that I have a brilliant idea

that I am sure no one has ever done…

google lets me down HARD!!!

This week I thought…breakfast s’mores!

It has been done before, (insert sad face)

but I went with it anyway!!!

Don’t you want chocolate cream cheese and marshmallow fluff

all wrapped up in a graham cracker roll?

Yes, please! I know I sure do!!!!

I just love that sweet rolls are a completely acceptable morning treat…

even filled to the brim with marshmallows and chocolate!

I had to run to the grocery store the other day

to pick up some dinner ingredients

when I saw this chocolate cream cheese spread.

I had seen it before but hadn’t bought it yet…

today I knew exactly what I was doing with it.

Into my shopping cart it went!!!

At home I quickly lined up my ingredients and got to work.

I recommend working on these 2 at a time.

The dough gets too soft and tears really easily then.

1. Lay out the crescent rolls into 4 rectangles. Press seams together. Spoon on the graham cracker and marshmallow mixture. Press into the dough with the back of the spoon.

2. Roll the dough up like a cinnamon roll. Squeeze it together.

3. Bring the ends of the dough together and press it into each other.

4. Use your thumbs to make a large indent in the middle of each roll. Don’t worry if it isn’t the prettiest. Mine were having issues too!

5. Fill the indent with marshmallow fluff and top it with chocolate cream cheese.

6. Bake and cool.

I just love how the marshmallow fluff breaks through the chocolate

in such random patterns on each danish!!!

Once they cool, sprinkle on some marshmallow bits,

light a candle and eat your masterpiece!!!

Who says you have to wait for breakfast???
